Radiator Help.....AGAIN! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok I'm enlisting everyone's help again. So I've had a time trying to get a new radiator in my truck. I switched from the 2 to 4 core, bought new retainers and pads, go everything hooked up and realized that there was no place on the radiator for the heater hose. I contacted RockAuto (where I bought the radiator) and they contacted Spectra Premium (the company who made the radiator) and they said that the radiators are not built with an outlet for the heater hose and it has to be rerouted. The kicker is that the guy from Spectra Premium didn’t know how to reroute it. He said it makes the heat more efficient, but was no other help.

Anybody know how and where to reroute the heater hose?

Thanks in advance!
